    My opinion ..the worst and most abusive jerk ever to run the nation

    1) tried to pack the Supreme Court
    2) used IRS several times to destroy enemies
    3) illegally imprisoned Japanese for political gains
    4) illegally ran beyond 2 terms
    5) huge racist against blacks and Jews

    Would subsidize money to get votes to certain groups before elections

    A totally disgusting man

    It was not illegal for him to run beyond two terms - the 22nd Amendment wasn't passed until after his Presidency - and mainly because of it.
    Prior to that, it was a custom (started by George Washington) - not part of the Constitution.

    He was very similar to Woodrow Wilson, the Patron Saint of Progressivism. Woody tought Mussolini everything he needed to know about fascism. Woody was a racist as well, but it was FDR and Breckinridge Long who cooked the asylum books to prevent Jews from escaping Hitler's genocide.

    FDR was a well meaning tyrant. Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It is better to live under a robber baron, like Trump, than to live under omnipotent moral bust bodies, like FDR. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes rest, his cupidity may at some point be satiated. But those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end because they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

    I recognize the beneficence of those on the left. I just think that such authority should be reserved to the parents of small children. I don't need it.

    You eliminated your validity when you quoted the WaPo.

    They are the ones who eulogized,
    Abū Bakr al-Baghdadi as an ‘Austere Religious Scholar’
    and
    Qasem Soleimani “American attack at Iraq airport kills revered Iranian military leader”

    So, Obama brought back the good ole days. Is that what you are saying? If so, I would tend to agree.

    The brainwashed masses may buy what WaPo peddles, absolving Soleimani of responsibility for the Benghazi raid he planned ,,, the spit shine being that the raid, to include configuring mortars, was a spontaneous response to a movie trailer no one watched.

    No actually he didn't.

    The IRS in fact didn't target Tea Party groups any mopre than they did progressive ones..in fact the only group denied a tax deduction was a PROGRESSIVE group.
    And oh yea..Obama had nothing to do with any of it

    So yea...no

    Trump on the other hand is well on his way to dictatorship with Barr as AG

    He can used the power of the DOJ to attack political enemies and let his criminal friends slide

    That...is dangerous for democracy

    He sure the hell was a tyrant.

    He was responsible for the National Firearms Act of 1934 and the Federal Firearms Act of 1938.

    It was 143 years from the ratification of the Second Amendment to the first Federal gun control legislation.
